A couple of thoughts

Although not officially confirmed, I have to believe there will be a trailer in front of Beowulf. There's too much anecdotal evidence that leads to this conclusion. I also think it's no coincidence that interviews with two of the actors in the movie show up online talking (a little) about the movie and their roles. The timing is supposed to get people thinking about 1-18-08 again. In the Jessica Lucas interview she states she is taking a break right now before starting her involvement in the marking/promotion of the movie. I think her promotion of the movie/ARG will coincide with the trailer on Nov 16…at that point everything is going to bust open with more clues, updates, new sites, etc.

Unfortunately this probably means either very little or nothing at all in the way of any updates/clues/new videos between now and Nov 16 which really sucks because its been 2 weeks to the day since anything new has been put out (Jaime vid #3) so two more weeks of idle speculation and weird threads about who works for Bad Robot, etc, etc.

Regarding the claim that the guy over at CHUD saw the trailer.

If he's wrong, he loses a lot of street cred. So unless I see something from this guy in the next day or two saying he was playing a Halloween prank, I'm going to assume he did see the trailer and its legit…I can't believe he would make it up knowing he's going to be called out after everyone else sees the trailer…who would believe the next thing he writes?

You're making the assumption that this is an "ARG". Cool

I agree.

I don't think he'd write the article with a straight face if he *knew* he was spouting bullshit -- CHUD would get laughed out of the blogosphere; they've got a rep to uphold.

But there IS a very, VERY strong chance that this is a Halloween hoax on the part of Devin. I suspect he'll laugh his ass off at everyone who believes him.

Not necesarely. All the things he said are already strong rumors. And he does say is a low quality early version. So, lets say the trailer comes up and looks nothing like what he said. He can simply say "Oh well, the one I saw wasn't used. But look, there is a monster with smaller ones, there is Rob, there is militar action and just like I said, the monster is HUGE" He can even say they changed it after they saw he knew. More street cred for him.

Yeah, IF its a hoax he shouldn't wait until, say, Nov 17 to say "Oh, I was just joking"...no one will buy it, he needs to come clean well before Beowulf on Nov 16.

If he waits until after the fact, its kind of like me predicting the Rockies to win the World Series and then the day after Boston's sweep, I say, oh I was just kidding, I always knew Boston would win.

I just saw the trailer too

Its gonna have at least one monster in it

Looks like it's mostly in New York, if not all of it

There are PEOPLE in the film as well, and they say things

One of the BIG secrets is that people get scared during the attack

The name of the film is actually "A Monstrous Cloverfield on 1-18-08 that is covered in Cheese like Parasites that love chocolat covered oven mits." But since I spilled the beans on what the name of the film is, they might change it

JUST WAIT until this movie comes out, you will all see that I AM RIGHT!

By the way, I do not work for BAD ROBOT, but I know for a FACT that people do! Now please do'nt flood me with emails asking me to give up my sources. I have neither the time nor the knowledge to provide you with that kind of info.

Another thing I noticed.

No mention of a roar in this trailer.

It's great to see all the angles people are taking with this.
I think jojo made an interesting point a way back when it was mentioned about people we've not had named being on screen in a speaking part.
Some of you may remember a discussion about extras and being paid more and being SAG, or being offered it if they do speak (Taft-Hartleyed). Again, this is a ~$30 million project? How many talking people can they really afford?

I know not everyone will take the time, but follow some of the links Evil posted about Devin, and do a little Googling for yourself. I didn't post the link from G4's site, but Devin decries JJ's likely ineptitude at reviving the Star Trek franchise, basically saying all of his big name works like Alias and Lost are just crap. You'll quickly get the idea that this guy is a trash-talker and 'fecal agitator', and possibly a prankster. The story where he mentions that JJ is going to 'throw us a bone' basically says we who are interested and following this project are suckers - and wouldn't this 'spoiler report' of the trailer just be a grand prank on us then?

I find it interesting that people are using this to question the likelyhood of the trailer being before Beowulf. I think he probably said that because it's plausible as being true, and could prove true. That, I suspect, is the one thing he may actually know for sure.

I agree that the description is a total contrast from the style of the teaser trailer. I expect this to be a new iteration of the teaser's style, with largely or entirely new content. I get that as with many of the projects JJ has done, he's trying to be unconventional and innovative with this project. I do expect a bit more concrete information as you'd expect from a full trailer, but presented in the more unique style that JJ gave us in the teaser.
